I am an Alaskan fpv pilot, I have been flying quadcopters for at least 6 years without a single incident. When I first started there was relatively no regulation yet somehow the flying community was as least as safe as they are today. There are a few regulations that do make sense, and I am

This is my life… -Steele

Flying and the wider hobby in general have had a significant, positive impact on my life. It has introduced me to heaps of my friends and driven my learning of software and design. It is a phenomenal hobby and I would hate to see it negatively impacted by greed and stupidity.

My fascination with flight began when I was 5 years old. I always had dreamed of flying airplanes whether they were remote controlled or by sitting in a full size aircraft.

This is an egregious misuse and overstep of the FAA by not even taking the time to understand the difference between model aviation and drones. Model aviation

Its freeing, its an escape. Adding barrier to entry complicates it. We should have the freedom to fly when where and what we want. These regulations would destroy the hobby many of us have grown to know and love.

I agree with the FPVFC statement. I believe that recreational drones do not pose a danger to the general public as long as the rules under the last FAA bill are maintained. People flying in remote areas without people and outside of the 5 mile radius of the airport do not pose a danger to

My flying is for creative and business use using high quality cameras. I fly almost exclusively in remote areas with no cell or WiFi service and very few people around. It would be technically impossible for me to do anything most of the time due to the lack of data services. I also feel that
